Thursday Shanny said the team hasn't ruled out VJ

I'm glad he did...if we traded 2 Numer 1 draft picks for this dickhead to get paid and be a BUM i'd be so pissed.

when are we going to learn you can't give these guys max contracts and expect results. you need to give them incentive based contracts.

Couldn't agree more TG34.. That's why Rookie caps will be great. Sam Bradford just got 50M for what? Being the number 1 pick? That's a joke. Let these guys prove they can play before you pay.

If the Chargers want 2 big picks for him they can deal with him sitting the bench and switching cities next year. If they can't go fire sale they can go f themselves in my opinion. Is proving a point worth losing it all? That's their question to answer. I'd offer up a 2 years from now 2nd and a next year 4th maximum.

^ Part of our problem (I think) is our #3 and our #4 are tied up next yr. Depending on how McNabb does depends on which we send to Philli. The other goes to the Saints for the OL we picked up. So we have picks in rounds 1,2,5,6,7. Maybe we can offer this yrs 5th and a 2nd in 2011? I don't know.

I will say this about Thomas though. I was excited when we picked up both Thomas and Kelly. Kinda pissed we picked up Kelly already injured and needing surgery but we did. Kelly got a pass the first yr due to injury. Thomas really didn't shine, hardly saw the field. So WR's supposedly have a 3 yr improvement plan and shine in their 3rd yr according to some but Thomas didn't improve his second yr (hardly) and Kelly was injured again. This is the pairs 3rd yr, their bust out yr supposedly and Kelly is injured once again and Thomas is now what 4th, 5th on the depth chart?

Maybe he's just not as good as some of you want to believe, and your holding out hope he gets over some invisible hump that he might not ever get over. I saw potential in Mason and after 3 yrs of no improvement and a HC knowing what he's doing by letting him go I had to come to grips with the fact that Mason was just not as good as I thought. So to with Thomas.

If we can get VJ then get him... we need a WR with his type of talent... I don't care who it is and we are starting to look at slim picking now. But I'm honestly done holding out hope Thomas will step up and be "the man." Pretty bad when an undrafted WR steps up and looks better then a second rounder. Thomas should be embarrased.

agreed SBXVII, he should be very embarassed. He stinks.

DT should have been a valuable trade commodity, ie DT and 2012 2nd for VJ, but he apparently can't convince any coaches of his incredible worth. Us keeping him out of games is right up there with AH's "ankle sprain" for theorists like myself. If we trade AH to Tennesse (or Houston) for their 3rd, we ought to give SD that 3rd and DT for VJ. But DT really hasn't flashed enough to wet the lips over in SD. All in all, I believe VJ is going somewhere by Wednesday and if it's us, I would be good with it.

"Washington Redskins have become front runners for Vincent Jackson but they want Jets involved in 3 way trade for Haynesworth"
"Redskins have called Jets to see interest in a three way deal involving Vincent Jackson to Skins & Haynesworth to Jets"
"Sources indicate Skins have been the aggressor and Jets have not committed either way. Skins want Jackson bad they need Jets"
"This is not a done deal and nothing is imminent-Just some Buzz from last night-I repeat Jets have not showed their hand yet"

Incarcerated Bob? He sounds trustworthy.

Redskins Insider - Vincent Jackson's suspension could drop to four games (http://voices.washingtonpost.com/redskinsinsider/vincent-jacksons-suspension-co-1.html?wprss=redskinsinsider)


Vincent Jackson's suspension could drop to four games

Redskins Coach Mike Shanahan would not rule out pursuing San Diego receiver Vincent Jackson on Thursday but noted that "we don't talk about people as well, for obvious reasons."

The NFL ruled earlier Thursday that Jackson's six-game suspension would be only four games if the Chargers manage to trade him. Jackson has been locked in a contract dispute with the Chargers, and if they trade him, he could be available in Week 5.

Shanahan offered few hints as to his intentions. "We'll always be trying to upgrade our football team, if that presented itself. We have people evaluating different people on teams all the time," Shanahan said. "You never know when a trade does work out or when you can get somebody to help your football team. But that's part of the process."

Reports have indicated that the Redskins have an interest in Jackson. And the preseason games and first regular-season game would seem to indicate that they still have the need. Santana Moss was the only receiver to notch more than one catch last week against the Cowboys. The team's other starter, 38-year-old Joey Galloway, was targeted just once and didn't have a reception in his Redskins' debut.

Shanahan said the fact that Jackson would not be available immediately will surely weigh on some team's decision.

"Obviously, you'd want a guy who could come in and help you right away over a guy who'd be suspended for four games," he said. "I'm sure that people who do make up their mind obviously will weight the strengths and the weaknesses and make the decisions based on what's best for their organization."


This answers nothing, except that VJ is being looked at.

No offense, but if I cared about reports from ES, I'd be on ES.
